The Trump regime, lying?

This is a thing unheard of!

Ah, thanks. I was getting kind of tired of existing. Nice to take a little break.

Oh, you finally figured out he’s been lying about everything?

Really, really fucking late to that realization, but better late than never, I guess.

Fuck fast food. Try your local places.

Grocery store deli counter can be an incredible place to get very good and affordable food, just saying.

It used to be that McD’s was shit, but at least it was fast and cheap.

Now it’s still shit (maybe even worse), but also quite expensive … and it’s not even that fast anymore.

Yep. Huge head, tiny face, running Toilet Paper USA.

The public mocking or … the other thing?

Yeah, take a look.

And in particular, I found their collections of historical photos to be actually kind of interesting (and the only part of the experience that isn’t completely dumb and vapid):

If I remember right, this is actually just a hallway that leads to one of the bathrooms, but if you’re interested in the history of the old west, you could spend hours just looking at that.

Overall, Wall Drug definitely is not worth it as the destination of your trip. If Wall Drug is the main attraction you’re headed for, you’re going to be sorely disappointed. But, I do think it’s definitely a worthwhile stop if you’re passing by there on the way to somewhere else.

Like I said, it’s very conveniently close to Badlands NP. If you’re coming from the east, it’s also on the way to the Black Hills (worth visiting for a few days), Wind Cave and Jewel Cave (the 3rd and 4th longest cave systems in the world, respectively – don’t miss those, though if you have to pick, Jewel Cave is definitely the more impressive for a quick visit – oh, and there are other, privately operated caves in the area; skip those, none of them are nearly as cool as Wind and Jewel), and Mount Rushmore (pretty meh – best to just look at it from the road as you go by and instead spend time hiking the Black Hills around it). If you’re coming from the east toward those (better) attractions, then I’d definitely recommend:

1 - Stay overnight in the town around Wall Drug, visit the drug store if you have time before bed.

2 - Spend a full day exploring Badlands NP (more if you’re really into it, but a day is enough to see most of it casually).

3 - Stay that night in Wall again.

4 - Drive to Rapid City and the Black Hills the next day.

Their noses just don’t clog when sick. They can get sick, but if they do, their snot is very runny and doesn’t dry up and get clogged in their nose. (Because, yeah, for a horse, a fully clogged nose would be fatal.)

The nose. (The blowhole is just the dolphin’s nose as well.)

but then you get there and it’s just a drug store

Alright, I’m calling BS on this one.

It’s a huge ‘drug store’ with multiple restaurants, an arcade, and even an animatronic dinosaur. But what I found interesting there is that they actually have huge sections of walls devoted to historical photographs, dating all the way back to the old west era. There’s some interesting stuff there if you take the time.

(And, of course, Badlands NP is a 10-minute or so drive from there, across the interstate, and that is definitely worth a visit!)

Yes, horses are the same way.

Dolphins cannot breathe through their mouths, blowing it with their mouth is biologically impossible.

You can tell this is a leftist meme because it’s got way too much text on it.

Trump is a Russian spy through and through. He is doing everything to make sure there is no America to stand up against the Russian Behemoth.

Eh … I don’t know.

Why then start a war with Iran of all countries, one of Russia’s allies? I think a complete Russian puppet would start a war with a neutral country, or better yet one of Russia’s many enemies. War with Denmark over Greenland would have been the move for a total Russian puppet. Set NATO at each other’s throats, waste NATO resources, leave Russia’s allies alone.

Now, for sure, he does have quite a lot of Russian influence … but I don’t think Putin is the only puppeteer with a hand up this puppet’s ass. Trump basically listens to and believes whoever was the most recent person to talk to him, the most recent person to give him complements, the most recent person who took him seriously and inflated his ego even more.

On the plus side, every one of these that they fire at Iran is one that they can no longer fire at domestic dissidents…

That’s why there is such an intense hate campaign against Mangione

*was

They tried to drum up an intense hate campaign, but that quickly backfired as it ended up making him just more and more popular. So then they dropped it and went silent about it, hoping we’d all just forget, banking on short attention spans.

If you’re that worried about it, get an old rigid mountain bike with 26"x1.5" street tires (which have more compliance than skinny high-pressure road bike tires).

But tires with more compliance also have more rolling resistance, so they’re pretty crap for going long distances on pavement.

That’s why my commuter bike has skinny tires and suspension. Let the suspension provide compliance over the endless bumps and cracks, while still having efficient skinny tires pumped up to 80psi. Then the bike can be fast and efficient without beating you to death over every little bump.

Sometimes you just gotta ride what you got

Heh, yeah… Got my current bike for $10 at a garage sale, and I’ve done tons of repairs to it over the years, so I guess I understand. It still has suspension, though, even if that suspension is pretty squeaky!
